Every School Plants a Seed
Peo is the Setswana word for seed. A school plants one in every learner on the first day of Grade R and tends it for thirteen years.
The tending happens in small things done every day. A register that notices the child who stopped coming. A mark captured in time for a struggling learner to get help before the exam. Fees collected so teachers are paid on the right day. Parents who can see what their child is doing.
PEO is the system a school does that tending with, so the seed planted in Grade R walks out of Grade 12 fully grown.
The white leaf is what the school gives. The gold leaf is what grows from it.
The Whole School on One Screen
Learners, families, classes and the timetable live in one place, and every other part of PEO works from the same records.
- Admissions and records for every learner, with parents, guardians and medical details
- Timetable by grade, class, room and educator
- Absence notes from parents, matched to the register
- Notices, email and SMS to a class, a grade or the whole school

Fees, the Books and the Bank, Balanced
Every invoice, receipt and supplier payment posts to the books as it happens, so the bursar closes the month without a spreadsheet.
- Bill a class or a grade in one step from your fee structures
- Online payment by card and instant EFT through PayFast
- Bank reconciliation line by line against the statement
- Trial balance, balance sheet and income statement whenever you need them

Payroll That Runs Itself Each Month
Pay every educator and staff member from the same system that holds their leave, attendance and records.
- Monthly payroll runs with earnings, deductions and net pay
- PAYE, UIF and SDL worked out for each person
- Payslips every staff member can open and print
- Leave applications and approvals

Everything a Teacher Needs, in My Classes
Each educator opens their own classes and does the day's work from one page.
- Registers for the day or the period in a few taps
- Markbook set up for CAPS assessment
- Homework set and handed in online
- Messages to a class and its parents

One Portal for Every Family
Parents see each of their children; learners see their own work. Nothing to install, on any phone.
- Attendance and results as soon as the school publishes them
- Fees and statements, with a Pay Now button on every invoice
- Homework and timetable for the week
- Notices that ask for an answer, such as consent for an excursion

A Website That Comes With the System
Every school on PEO gets its own website, with news, the calendar, careers and the sign-in for parents, learners and staff.
- Your crest, colours and motto throughout
- News and notices from the same place staff already post them
- School calendar and vacancies
- One sign-in for families and staff
